Description

It seems in SUSE 11.3 the default setting was changed so that the touchpad no longer accepts tapping to click. At first I thought I had a driver issue or something was messed up.

This is silly since everyone expects tapping the touchpad to result in a click, not to be ignored. One of the issues I think people have coming over to linux or even seasoned users such as myself is annoying or silly defaults. Right after installing SUSE I go through and change a load of settings, obviously much of which is user preference, but I have to be believe most settings I change to what people expect. Regardless enabling tapping on the touchpad is something we need.

make sure you have ksynaptics installed. Then go to systemsettings, input devices, touchpad. :D

Installed 11.4 just yesterday and was annoyed by this throughout installer and during initial run. This is just a plain bad default...we shouldn't disable expected functionality. Should be simple to change.
